Default Two switches in the one field

Hi

How do I include a second switch in a field that already contains a switch?

I want to create a field switch which controls the number of digits on the
right hand side of the decimal point and which also suppresses zero dollar
values

I know the following switch works to control the number of digits on the
right hand side of the decimal point...

{MERGEFIELD "item_No1"\#"$0.00;($0.00)"}

....but when I add a second switch (i.e., \#"$0.00;;") to the above field to
give the following field...

{MERGEFIELD "item_No1"\#"$0.00;($0.00)" \#"$0.00;;"}

....I get the following error:

"Error! Too many picture switches defined."

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Anthony
